I have been drawing since I was six and taking drawing classes near my home that taught me the basics of drawing / painting. If not for the pandemic and lockdown, I would have never thought about exploring online art classes. It’s been over five months since I joined contemporary art classes with Catterfly Art & Culture. The last five months have been a completely different experience to me. I was exposed to multiple art forms such as Zen mandala, Dot mandala in addition to other contemporary arts and variety of techniques (Micron Pen Sketching, Palette Knife; Brush Painting with Acrylic, Gauche and Water Colors).  I thoroughly enjoy the sessions and even now look forward to the classes every week.

All thanks to our art teacher Vipra ma’am and Catterfly for providing the platform. Vipra ma’am has been a wonderful teacher. I really admire her way of simplifying complex paintings, teaching us the basics on how to start and walking us through the entire drawing over a week, correcting & giving suggestions along the way. She also helps us with the selection of colors, mixing, and brush strokes. She guides us in every aspect and that’s why our paintings turn to be so perfect.

Looking back, I have now a collection that I’m proud of. Some of my paintings are also published in my school magazine and newspaper.
My experience with Catterfly art session has been so enriching and fulfilling so far. I am very happy to discover Catterfly Art & Culture.
